Hello Carinas! Manners varies among cultures. I must tell you that the people with the most manners that I have met are from Costa Rica, what a correct persons. In the Mexican culture still we expect some manner from all ages people. Of course there are people with no manners too. My children (27 and 25 yr o) have good manners too and I am really proud of them.
An Artificial Heart Its Makers Say Could Be a Standard Replacement. PARIS — It is a long-held dream: an artificial heart to replace one that is damaged or diseased.
Carmat, a medical start-up backed by the European Aeronautic Defense and Space company, is in the final stages of preclinical testing of its total artificial heart for patients with end-stage heart failure. The company hopes to start human testing in France by the end of next year and to bring the technology to the market in Europe in 2013, Marcello Conviti, Carmat’s chief executive, said in a telephone interview. ........... The device, made of both synthetic and animal tissue, is driven by two miniature electric motors. Implanted in the patient’s chest after the diseased heart is removed, it uses information gleaned from sensors to mimic the activity of the natural organ. It is operated by a microcontroller and powered by electromagnetic induction through the skin or through a plug implanted behind the patient’s ear.
Carmat estimates its device will cost $176,000 to $226,000. When all expenses are considered, including hospital and surgical expenses, it says it will cost just over $315,000, about the same as a transplant. ... Citing World Health Organization data that shows heart disease is the world’s leading cause of death, Mr. Conviti, the Carmat chief executive, estimated the potential market at “a minimum” of 100,000 patients a year in the United States and Europe. However, he said cost constraints meant it was unlikely that more than one-tenth of those patients would actually receive an artificial heart.
